Double-Barreled Flintlock Pistol

18th Century -
American Revolution - Pirates and Privateers

Historical
Background

Pistol patterns in the 18th century were
only limited by the imagination of the gunsmith. One was the double
barreled shotgun type pistol used by civilians, sailors, pirates,
privateers, traders, or purchased by military officers as a personal defence piece.
This and similar designs were used from the early 18th century to about the
1830s. This item was for close quarter action.

Specifications

The barrels are 6 3/4 inches long and
.58 calibre and the pistol's overall length is 13 3/8 inches. The bore of
the barrels is cylinder and made of
polished high-carbon steel (type:BS970 no.080M40- auto industry foundry) and
the breeches are tight.

The lock is made with strong durable springs
and has a
case-hardened frizzens that throws good sparks.
We
use a industrial case-hardening factory process that makes sparking both more
reliable and longer lasting.
Presently no other musket provider uses
this technique.

As with all our
other flintlocks, the vent is not drilled (read details below) so we can ship easily to our door
throughout North America and to Europe and the UK.
Aside from that they
are exactly like
the originals.
A fine addition to any collection.

If upon receiving
your musket you are not completely happy with your purchase, you may return it
for a refund.
All we ask is you cover the shipping costs. It has to be returned in two weeks of receipt and be in its original state (unaltered and unmodified).
